But I'm hearing Rooneys definitely want him gone.

Don't know who the 'Deuce' is, he's referring too....

the 'Deuce' is Art II. Wexell is pretty on it with his reporting. This is the first time I have really heard him start mentioning that a trade is possible. Up to this point he has stated that the Rooney's were furious but that they would not trade Ben. For him to be reporting this it is probably true they are trying to shop Ben.

It is really starting to look like Ben is too toxic for the rest of the NFL at this point.

This is the first time there has been a twitter for the draft. It's ruining credibilty. I don't trust anything that people "tweet".

A tarnished Roethlisberger is better than any QB you could find in the next 5 years. Let him redeem himself and don't make a stupid trade out of wounded pride or bruised ego.

Remember, it is darkest before the dawn. I'm banking on the dawn of a better Ben.

I agree..... I bet he comes back fired up to prove his worth to the team and fans. There's some fans he'll never win back over, but most should be cheering him by the time the playoffs come around. If not sooner.

Yes, my hope is that Ben is truly a changed man...or will be very soon and that he does come back with a renewed enthusiasm for the game as the QB of the Steelers! BUT, if he is not a changed man or sees no reason to change, then I'm with Shawn, KICK HIM IN THE PANTS!

For what it's worth, La Canfora is reporting on the NFL Network that there is NO TRADE in the works for Roethlisberger. He said that the ONLY call the Steelers ever made was to St. Louis for the #1 overall. The Raiders were the only other team who contacted the Steelers but the Steelers shut that down.
